Something That Annoys Me --- Snow

Most people seem to have the incredible idea that snow is wonderful and signifies such a beautiful time of year.  This idea that snow is "wonderful" is hard for me to grasp.   Yes, snow might look pretty from inside a warm home next to a wood burning stove, but it has its flaws.  Snow is annoying not only because it is a nightmare to drive in but because it also indicates the kind of weather that makes one shiver just thinking about it.

Driving can already be stressful and annoying enough, dealing with inattentive drivers and unfamiliar surroundings, but when snow is involved everything escalades.  When driving in snow there are so many more things that you have to consider and take the necessary precautions for.  Is that dark patch on the road ice?  Am I going to get stuck in a ditch somewhere?  Another reason why snow is annoying when you have to drive is how much extra time it takes to get anywhere.  When it snows, you can almost always count on never getting to your destination on time because of thick frost, frozen motors, and being unable to even get out of the driveway.  

The second and most obvious point for why snow is annoying is because if there's snow, that means it is inevitably cold.  The kind of cold that makes one never want to leave their bed in the morning.  Lack of warmth defiantly has that effect on people; it has the power to paralize to the point of an inability of doing anything except for trying to keep semi warm.      

No matter how much we wish for warmer seasons, winter, which is always accompanied by snow, can rarely be escaped.  Yes, snow can be pretty, and sometimes a nice change if there is nothing to do but stay inside with a cup of hot cocoa in hand, but that is the only positive to this white and cold stuff that people call snow.
